Encrypt/password-protect Personal Data

#1 (**permalink**) 05-Dec-2006, 17:56

Hi, I have my personal data in one folder and backed up to a usb mini storage thing. I'd like to encypt them. So I can click them and they ask for a password, whereby if I supply the password they open for me. I don't care if the application is at folder-level or at document-level, but would prefer the latter. Can you recommend a suitable application please?
Thanks

in kde right click on the folder file -> Actions -> encrypt/decrypt folder or encrypt file

If you are doing this the first time, you will be asked to configure gnupg

Nice addition is Encfs available in kernel 2.6.19.

Hope this will help

how come i couldn't see the encrypt/decrypt...all is see is:

Right click on folder ->Actions->Copy to Pubic Folder, Add Directory as YaST Source, Open with Kaffeine, Browse with Gwenview, Open Terminal Here

why is that?

Probably haven't installed the app. [Search "encfs" from source package using Yast]
